1. Greed and money

all those municipalities want their thumbs in the pie. In Pennsylvania you have more divisions of government than existed in any feudal state - towns, municipalities, townships, boroughs, unincorporated areas, etc. Each one with elected officials that are drolling to get into the pot of money with its kickbacks, bribes and payoffs. I can see Corbett wanting to give some sense to this mess, but at the same time he's a tool of the gas industry. Pennsylvania has always had the problem of big industry vs. the locals.
